Chelsea's end-of-season showdown with Newcastle United couldn't have felt more like an end-of-season showdown if it tried.
On a beautiful day at Stamford Bridge, filled with glorious sunshine, there was a feeling that it might well be the last game for a whole host of players at Chelsea. Not only that, but it would be Frank Lampard's last match at the club after he took the interim head coach role last month.
"Super, super Frank" chants could be heard at various points in the game, that finished 1-1, and once the match was over. The players and staff did their annual lap of honour. It's been an absolutely torrid season for Chelsea as a club – an absolute mess, to be quite honest – but the supporters stuck around at the end to show their appreciation.
